My experience as a learner....hmmmm. Well I don't recall ever thinking I had learned anything until I went to college. The highschool I went to (believe it or not) didn't stress "learning". Atleast that is how I remember it. I don't ever remember actually discovering that I had learned anything, until college. I would think that that was a barrier in my process of learning. I mean good grief, if I actually knew the importance of an education early enough I might have become a rocket scientist for all I know! (just kidding...maybe) But seriously, when I sit down and consider myself learning I become excited about it. What I like most about my learning process is when someone asks me a question about something and I can just go on and on about it. It makes me feel really good inside to know that I knew that, and actually understood it enough to explain it to someone else that didn't know it. That may sound silly, but that is the sort of thing my education does for me. Besides the fact that I am actually going to know how to help a child or an adult with a communication disorder.
